Living with Epidermolysis Bullosa

Living with Epidermolysis Bullosa has first-hand accounts written by parents and patients who are living or have lived with EB, and was compiled to help people in general understand how it is like to truly live with every form of Epidermolysis Bullosa; from the milder Simplex variants, who are nonetheless not simple to live with, to the more lethal, namely Junctional, whose patients usually succumb to before their first birthday. The stories you will read are from proud parents, or patients and their struggles and how they are coping. Some stories are sad, some are encouraging, and everything in between.

About Me

My name is Silvia and while I was born and grew up in Italy, I now live in Southern California (USA). I am Mom to 3 boys, 1 in heaven, 2 on earth. My first son Alex (whose demise is most likely EB related) was stillborn at full term. After a miscarriage, I had my second son Nicky, who has the Recessive Dystrophic form of Epidermolysis Bullosa. My youngest son, Connor, is 100% healthy, and I never, ever take it for granted.
I started this website when Nicky was just an infant because I could not find any information about EB, so anything I came across I posted for the benefit of other parents and it grew from there. I still run this website (and its FB page) because I never stopped looking for information!
For more about me, you may visit my personal blog. Thank You for visiting!
